I think the Steelers can win as long as they can control the clock. Frankly, the Steelers have no once capable of covering TO and if Philly has the ball a lot on offense, he's going to eat the Steelers secondary alive. <br /><br />It'll be interesting though. I hoped for a 9-7 season at best and it looks like the Steelers might do better than that (assuming they don't have an all out collapse). Yeah the PHI/PIT game should be good.

To be honest, I'm surprised the Steelers (my team) demolished NE as easily as they did. I had a feeling they'd win, but not that easily. Yes NE had injuries, but so did the Steelers. The best Nose Tackle in the game (Casey Hampton) is out for the season, Starting CB Chad Scott is out for the season, starting OL Kendall Simmons out for the season, starting LB Kendrell Bell hasn't played a game all year and starting AND backup QB Tommy Maddox/Charlie Batch are out. The Steelers have probably suffered more serious injuries than any team in the NFL.<br /><br />Yes, Ben is a 3rd string QB. Not anymore, but he was starting the season. Steelers capitalized on every turnover by NE and that was the turning point. Belicheck should've known you can't blitz Ben Roethlisberger because he'll eat you alive. I know people view him differently because he is a rookie, but he doesn't play like one and blitzing won't help.<br /><br />Steelers Super Bowl?? Maybe. They're the best team in the AFC right now (record wise). I'm pretty sure no one would've predicted that or predicted that a rookie QB would start out 5-0 and handle NE the way he did. Shows anything can happen. If he leads the Steelers past Philly next week, I'll book some SB tickets... :) Steelers rule!!!
